Neonatal Fc receptor and IgG-based therapeutics [PDF]

mAbs, 2011
The majority of potent new biologics today are IgG-based molecules that have demonstrated tissue-targeting specificity with favorable clinical response. Several factors determine the efficacy of these products, including target specificity, serum half-life and effector functions via complement-dependent cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated ...

Research progress on neonatal Fc receptor and its application. [PDF]

Zhejiang Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban, 2021
Neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a specific receptor for immunoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin, which binds to them in a pH-dependent manner and prevents them from lysosomal degradation to keep a long plasma half-life. In addition, FcRn plays an important role in transmembrane transport of IgG and albumin and in antigen presentation. In autoimmune diseases,

The Fab region of IgG impairs the internalization pathway of FcRn upon Fc engagement

Nature Communications, 2022
Disrupting the association between the Immunoglobulin G constant fragment (Fc) and the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) by engineered antibodies is a promising strategy to reduce autoantibody levels in autoimmune diseases.

Neonatal Fc receptor is a functional receptor for classical human astrovirus. [PDF]

Genes Cells
Abstract Human astrovirus (HAstV) is a global cause of gastroenteritis in infants, the elderly, and the immunocompromised. However, the molecular mechanisms that control its susceptibility are not fully understood, as the functional receptor used by the virus has yet to be identified.

Fc receptor engagement of HIV-1 Env-specific antibodies in mothers and infants predicts reduced vertical transmission

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionInfants acquire maternal antibodies by Fc receptor transcytosis across the placenta during pregnancy. Fc receptors are expressed on immune cells and are important for activation of effector cell functions.MethodsIn this study, we evaluated Fc

In vivo pharmacokinetic enhancement of monomeric Fc and monovalent bispecific designs through structural guidance

Communications Biology, 2021
Lu Shan et al. present a structure-guided approach to engineer a monovalent form of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of an IgG4 antibody to adapt multiple versions of half-life extension modifications and bispecific targeting.
